Jonathan Panzo, a 25-year-old English defender, is leaving Rio Ave for Birmingham City, having travelled to England to sign for the club. The move is intended to reinforce the left-sided centre-back position at BCFC, as Jack Robinson is injured for the foreseeable future. Panzo, who made his move to Rio Ave permanent last summer, is reportedly returning to English football. His contract with the Portuguese club was due to expire on 30/06/2026, and he has made 14 appearances in Liga Portugal this season. The defender has 5 caps for the England U21 team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €1.50m.
